.... And what advantage do we get from such info..... that could benefit mankind and/or make life better for those in suffering?

Ultimately.. we are learning who we are...     without this knowledge of who we are,  eternal peace can not be attained..  suffering is an outcome of being ignorant.... 

Learning that the earth was not flat brought us closer together...  our understanding of the divine is flat...  Finding life on another heavenly body might just break the old notions and challenge the chains that bind us in ignorance.... 

Besides, I would have liked to catch TheBryters taking a shower...  worth while $386M..
